I finished this book weeks ago and I still don't really know how I feel about it.

It's definitely Russian Literature and may be a difficult read. It is certainly slow paced in one sense and extremely fast in another. Part One of the novel feels very disjointed and each chapter is essentially a vignette, Part Two is more cohesive in the narrative, and I'm not certain Part One is edited down to it's best ability.  This is a book about The Devil so be sure to check out any content warnings.
